While there I had the chance to take this pic of Leroy Troy 
while on a river boat cruise on the Belle of Louisville.
Here is the Louisville, KY skyline from aboard the Belle of Louisville.
The Chapmans were there at the convention also. Jeremy and I did an interview which was recorded onto a cd for airplay at the station. This picture of them was taken in April when they came to Dew, TX for the Plum Creek Bluegrass Festival
I really had a wonderful time there. I can hardly wait to be able to go again.
Whenever you contact any of the record companies or artits please mention to them that you heard their music on KNES, Texas 99. This is important to them as it lets them know where and when their music is being heard.
